4. Compound A has the formula C 8H 8. It reacts rapidly with KMnO 4 to give CO 2 and a carboxylic acid, B (C 7H 6O 2), but reacts with only 1 molar equivalent of H 2 on catalytic hydrogenation over a palladium catalyst. On hydrogenation under conditions that reduce aromatic rings, 4, equivalents of H 2 are taken up and hydrocarbon C (C 8H 16) is produced. What are the structures of A, B, and C.
A chemist allows some pure (2S,3R)-3-bromo-2,3-diphenylpentane to react with a solution of sodium ethoxide(NaOCH2CH3) in ethanol. The products are two alkenes: A (cis-trans mixture) and B, a single pure isomer. Under thesame conditions, the reaction of (2S,3S)-3-bromo-2,3-diphenylpentane gives two alkenes, A (cis-trans mixture) and C.Upon catalytic hydrogenation, all three of these alkenes (A, B, and C) give 2,3-diphenylpentane. Determine the structuresof A, B, and C; give equations for their formation; and explain the stereospecificity of these reactions
Cembrene, C20H32, is a diterpenoid hydrocarbon isolated from pine resin. Cembrene has a UV absorption at 245 nm, but dihydrocembrene (C20H34), the product of hydrogenation with 1 equivalent of H2, has no UV absorption. On exhaustive hydrogenation, 4 equivalents of H2 react, and octahydrocembrene, C20H40, is produced. On ozonolysis of cembrene, followed by treatment of the ozonide with zinc, four carbonylcontaining products are obtained: Propose a structure for cembrene that is consistent with its formation from geranylgeranyl diphosphate.
Nitromethane is reacted with ethyl prop-2-enoate with EtO-Na+, EtOH 3 equivalents to give the product X(C16). X then reacts with H2/Raney Ni to give the product Y(C14), which in turn reacts with Na to give Z (C12). Indicate which products X, Y and Z are.
An unknown hydrocarbon A with the formula C6H12 reacts with 1 molar equivalent ofH2 over a palladium catalyst. Hydrocarbon A also reacts with OsO4 to give diol B.

Compound A (C11H23Br) is a secondary alkyl halide. On being heated with a solution of sodium ethoxide in ethanol, compound A yielded a mixture of two alkenes B and C, each having molecular formula C11H22. Catalytic hydrogenation of the major isomer B or the minor isomer C gave only 3,5-diethylheptane. Draw structures for compounds A, B, and C consistent with these observations.
An unknown alcohol with a molecular formula of C7H14O was oxidized to an aldehyde with HOCl. When an acidic solution of the alcohol was distilled, two alkenes were obtained. The alkene formed in greater yield was determined to be 1-methylcyclohexene. The other alkene formed the original un-known alcohol when treated with BH3/THF followed by H2O2, HO-, and H2O. Identify the unknown alcohol.
